🔋 PEM RWTH Aachen University #LaserDrying Innovation cuts #LithiumIonBattery production times by over 60% and reduces costs by up to 30% without affecting electrode quality. - https://lnkd.in/ezsJzrMc The project introduced a hybrid drying process that combines conventional convection drying with high-power diode laser drying. The process maintains electrode quality in terms of adhesion, moisture content, electrical conductivity, and electrochemical performance. The new system enables retrofitting of existing production lines with laser modules, avoiding major overhauls. Scaling up has achieved a web speed of 30 meters per minute and reduced required process space. Find more news at Battery-Tech Network: https://lnkd.in/eyDwxy28 -- #BatteryTechNetwork

🔋 Insightful overview about the current state of battery energy storage system (#BESS) application globally, published by Rho Motion and Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. 📈 The BESS market has been the fastest growing battery demand segment globally over the past three years. In 2024, the #BESS market grew by 52%, significantly outpacing the 25% growth in the #EVbattery market. 🇨🇳 #China accounts for roughly two-thirds of the installed capacity of grid-scale BESS worldwide, while the US holds about 25%. 🇨🇦 #Canada is expected to be the fastest growing market, with its capacity projected to surge from 0.3 GWh to 18.3 GWh by 2027. 🇸🇦 #SaudiArabia’s capacity is anticipated to increase 24-fold to 32.4 GWh. There is still much to do in Europe, considering that most European countries have more problems with energy supply than Canada or Saudi Arabia.
